How to make Pocket Informant work in int'l OS? - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I have an HTC Touch HD with Swedish Windows Mobile 6.1. I very much want to use the PIM program called Pocket Informant. But when I try to install it, I am told that my platform is not supported
Is there any way that I can still go ahead and install it? Or is there a great chance that it will not work, even if I should not be able to install it?
I am quite annoyed that I cannot easily replace my Swedish OS license and installation with an English one, but that's another discussion....

I guess my question merely is; Is there a tweak that can be carried out, to run English Windows Mobile programs on non-English installations? I don't know Windows Mobile that well, so I have no idea whether this would actually be possible.
On Windows based PC's, this works. So I thought it might be the same on Windows Mobile devices?

I want to make programs for HTC Touch Pro (WM 6.1)

Hey guys,
I am a programmer at heart and have developed in many different languages(C,C++,Java,PHP,ASP...). I want to begin developing applications for the Touch Pro (WM 6.1) but I have no idea where to start. My biggest fear is downloading the WM 6.1 emulator messing around with it for weeks only to find out that's not what I should have been using. Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I should start? Are there any tutorials out there for programming for this phone?
I also noticed that the WM 6.1 emulator didn't support the 480x640 resolution that the HTC Touch Pro uses...
Thanks!

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 + Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK + Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK to develop....and this book "Programming Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Third Edition". Its for c/c++, from basics to create drivers, services, etc

Do you know of an emulator for the HTC Touch Pro? I downloaded a program that I know works, and was able to compile and run it on my phone but when I tried to run it with the emulator it was missing the HTCSensorSDK.dll file... something fairly new i presume. I tried default emulator and the Windows Mobile 6 Professional VGA emulator but I was wondering if there was one available for this phone yet.
I want to know the same thing
If/when you find an answer to this I would love to hear about it or see a post on it. Thanks.
There's no such thing as a software-only emulator for the Raphael's hardware, that would be incredibly complex to create for such a task
What the developers use is called a "Board Support Package" - it basically contains all the raphaels hardware, in a PCI card that gets installed in a slot in the computer.. that way all the drivers, etc can be loaded and everything can be tested as it would be on the phone itself.
There's pretty much not a chance in heck of you getting one of those (although if you do, send one my way, I would love to have one )
The emulators are useful for testing generic software that does not tie into any of the features that require raphael hardware. There should also be emulator images to support all resolutions (qvga square, qvga, vga, not sure about wvga/wqvga)
And, here's the link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...52-f89e-4354-84ce-5d19c204498a&displaylang=en
Looks like it does in fact come with wqvga and wvga emulators
Note that you can use an emulator kitchen to add SOME of the htc stuff to the ROM image, but none of the drivers that support the htc hardware will function.

Due Yesterday for Windows Mobile?

I dont know if any of you have heard of the program called Due Yesterday for Palm OS, but its a program that allows you to keep track of classroom assignments and schedules. I used this program extensively untill i upgraded to a windows mobile HTC Raphael. Now im stuck without this program and i was hoping someone knew of a similar program.
Ill let the link speak for itself about the program:
http://www.freewarepalm.com/database/dueyesterday.shtml
don't know of such an app, but you can run palm os apps on windows mobile with this http://www.styletap.com/
I tried it a while back and it worked fine.
hope this helps
This seems like a really neat application but is there anything for free?
Or how about an actual program that i can use? thanks.
As with ISiCK, I also used Due Yesterday on my Palm(s) before getting a Raphael and am interested in an equivalent application for Windows Mobile.
In short: *bump!*
I know this is an older thread but has anyone found anything close to Due Yesterday for Windows Mobile? I have it running with styletap but I'd like to be able to sync the information with my PC.

New user of windows mobile

Hello
I have become a owner of a new htc touch 2 with windows mobile 6.5
a frend of mine has htc hd phone and also win 6.5 but he can use programs like command prompt, regedit, creating grups of contacts, I can't do eny of them how come ?
do I have to instal something to be able to use regedit etc... ?
Thanks
You need the right cab files for these programms.....they circulate here....but no reason why you can not what your friend can....
but regedit and command prompt are a part of the windows ? why would I need to explicity install it
Ah ok, understand to edit your registry you need a program like attached.....
but be careful.....any mistake can screw up your device.....and soft reset after making a chance.....
For command prompt look here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2148175#post2148175
And if you do some searching you find programs to make groups in contacts.....
Have fun

Windows Mobile 6.5 is based on Windows Compact Embedded Edition, WindowsCE for short, We're not dealing with windows 7, or vista, or even XP, but what is essentially a very stripped down OS thats closer "related" to Windows 95. (anyone wanting to knit pick the previous statement, please note the inverted comma's. I know some people are very pedantic)
While Win95 had both said features, I just wanted to explain how limited 6.5 is, these are tools that WILL run on 6.5 but are not included.

Remote Desktop 6.5 cab

Hi,
I am planning on flashing to a ROM that uses Windows Mobile 6.5. However from what I understand there are two major issues:
1. No all of the Winmo 6.5 roms include Windows Remote Desktop
2. The Windows Remote Desktop 6.1 cabs are not compatible.
Where can I get a functional Remote Desktop Mobile cab file that works with Windows Mobile 6.5?
I honestly have no idea if it works on 6.5 (since I don't use 6.5), but maybe ZaDesktop could be given a try. I use it since my device didn't have rdesktop on it by default and during a reinstall I had to install ZaTunnel anyway.

Got any solutions ?
Here you go; this is from build 28244. It seems to work (I installed it to test, and loaded the app). I've never used RD before, though.
Edit: I tested it out, and it works. Hell, it's kind of cool, lol.

[Q] Tutorial for native app

Hi,
I'm looking for some tutorial or complete project, how can I run native app from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone 7.
I know, it's bad question, but why not.
In theory, you can make it happen. Cuz Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows CE 6.0/7.0 But actually MS has already removed some unneeded features of CE or WM. Although they use the same kernel,but you can't run it from WM to WP7 directly.
